Thanks again, man - I don't get to sit down behind the kit as much as I would like, but keeping your concepts ( and approach) in mind ( and internalizing them "practicing within when without" and "air drumming") I've noticed a marked improvement in my ability, fluidity, and musicality every time I play. Just through the influence of your vids, I think I've naturally gravitated toward a lead musical hand approach 🤘💥🥁
That's awesome, man. Glad the videos are helping you out 👊🏾
@@RobBeatdownBrown Want to start playing, any tips for beginners, and what's a good kit to start with?
@@cedricjones9679 focus on playing on beat over playing fast. If you have to play a song at a slower tempo than the recording, then do that. For a beginner kit, the minimum you need is a hi-hat, a snare, kick drum, and a crash. If you can afford more then shop the style of kit for the kind of music you want to play. Jazz kits, rock kits, etc.
I just watched my latest wedding gig on video. Wasn’t too happy of some of my fills. They were too clumsy sometimes. Then I thought to check, if uncle-Rob has any video for this topic… and BUM, here it is. Right on time! Thanks man! 😎👌
The reason I don't wear any drum related clothes is - even though I started drumming in 1995 I don't consider myself a drummer. I can play my kit and play along to pretty tough /fast songs but I would never count myself amongst people like Thomas Lang for instance. I'll always be a beginner.
I'm in the same place even though I got some leason on the road from Fito De Le Parra from canned heat
I see lots of people wearing their favorite sports hero's numbers, and none of them are Tom Brady or that other guy.... whomever. Don't be so hard on yourself. I got my first kit in the late 60's. I'm no Danny Seraphine - never will be, I'm just me and glad I can play. What I have learned is that I learn from others, and become myself. Wear it, proudly.
I’ll always be a beginner also but the sayings on the merch is so cool man. Get it just to be cool 😎.
Are you a real cow boy? No? So why do you wear jeans?
Are you a pro in any sport? No? So why do you have sneakers?
Do you play violin? No! You play drums...so you're a drummer!
;-)
@@d.f.andreatta6468 Well said there man! 👍
The man!
Great lesson,especially for younger ,less jazz influenced players.For me,these licks seem to come more naturally when playing traditional grip.Always the best stuff,Rob.
Thanks Rob! I’ve been playing drums for almost a decade but always learned to play by ear and what’s right to me. Your videos have shown me that I have a lot yet to learn!
Love it !! And yes I was staring at the hoodie. Lol
Thanks, Beatdown. Love your channel.
Thanks Rob. Also for the pdf file as well. 👍🏿😎
Rob Brown, continuing to serve the drum community with invaluable gems ✌🏼❤️
Awesome video thanks. Last week I saw a drummer grooving with fills and he made look easy. However I couldn’t figure out how he did it until after watching this video. Huge thanks!
Siiiick. Rob. Thank youuu Flamuel. Each and every one of your videos is so damn practical and insightful. Very very helpful to the drummers of the world, I hope you realize that. Like major impact. It’s amazing. And that outro though, damn.
Thanks bro..Ironically my drumming goal this year is to improve my fills and learn to solo..you are right on time!
You're doing such a great job. Thanks to you, I am better drummer every time I sit behind the kit, I love learning from your videos. You're my favourite teacher, thank you, Rob❤️
This is how I taught myself fills! Cool to see.
I dig it!
This is my second watch, and this time, I got the concept.
You are a Master and a Master Teacher!
Thanks for the tip, Have been doing it ( ghost notes supporting hand) but didn't realize all the benefits.
Interesting Rob, I will work on this and saved the video. What I think about is switching lead hands once just to see what the accent sounds like. Thank you so much for your efforts!
Just when i needed it
Thanks for this exercise. I recently changed from 1 tom up to 2 like yours and found myself naturally leading with my right hand just like this lesson. It just feels & works better. No need to over-complicate.
Great lesson! I’m gonna do this with a left lead, too!
nice home studio and not cluttered , i like order. that crash sounds fantastic thanks for the lesson.
I feel like this did it for me. Ever since I started playing I have had troubles improvising musical fills and this little piece of information changed everything. How come nobody ever told me about choosing a leading hand? Great base to expand upon. Thanks Rob
The doc is in da house, Thx rob brown for the lesson!
You are very clear and very professional, great job !
Tremendous amount of information in a very simple concept. I’m off to the drum shed to get into this.
Extremely well presented Rob
Thank you
Its stuff like this that wants to get me into drumming again...
NOICE! 👊🏾 Do it.
@@RobBeatdownBrown thanks for encouragement. I find it’s either time or money is the problem. Right now I have all the money but no damn time to commit.
That goatee is lookin sharp.
Probably needs some conditioner...
Thanks Rob. I know what I'm doing tomorrow!
thank you for everything you do for us.
Best beats and lessons in the biz.. Thanks Beatdown..you da man, man
I'm just a dumb guitar player. I enjoy these videos. They help me communicate with drummers better. They are a different breed of musician. Great stuff
Great tip Rob! I will be incorporating this into my playing. I see all kinds of applications for this. Thank you for this juicy little drum nugget.
Thanks coach. 🔥🔥🔥
Hi Rob, the best on the internet , period. ☮️
Thanks boss.
Always a pleasure!!🎶❤️🎶
Also have the A& F 6.5 x 14, now you making me want 5 x 14 also ( its a beast)
now that's a good one thanks man!
Very cool as always. And loving the goatee!
I always look forward to your new content. Keep doin what you're doin man. Much love.
I'll try out here, man ✌🏾🤓
Love these kind of fills. Use them all the time. #3 the Africa phrase the inspiration ? 👌🏽🔥
Such a great teacher !👏🏻
Thanks for the lesson Rob.
Great advice, and the fills sound really gorgeous! THANKS! :)
Sweet and basically simple but definitely sounds great. Thanks Rob
I actually taught this to my daughter last night, glad I was doing it right, brother
Love Robs videos. Hilarious without putting any effort in. No jump cut every 5 seconds and captions and GIFs and snap zooms and sound effects for idiots.
Haha. You've seen a few UA-cam videos, I take it.
Bingo! Anyone who uses jump cuts on instructional videos should be doing 15 to 20 in the Big House. Rob keeps it clean and watchable---a rarity in today's online world.
Nice job Rob. Appreciate the tips.
A w e s o m e…. Keeping it simple!! Thanks again Dr. Beat down 😎😎
You're the best Rob, God bless 👍
Thank you Rob...I've watched a few videos and already I've learned so much. This will help me at being better after my 15ish years of playing. And your videos are technical but also fun to watch😀...Iphone ringing😂
Thank you, Rob for keeping my mind on the prize! Sometimes your lessons are beyond my abilities, but I can handle this with some practice! You the MAN!
Thank you. I love your channel.
Thanks Bro. Your style Is awesome!!
Excellent as always, Rob ! :D
Yup, I got your Tee, love it!
I love your intros
Good lesson Rob. 🥁👍🏾👍🏾
GOOD!!! excellent content thanks very much
Love this guy. The timing of this is perfect for me. Rock on!
You got that right sucka!, who doesn't?! Thank you Rob, I dig your conceptual approach to drumming! BTW: thanks for the pdfs to your lessons, they are more helpful to me if I could read it than hear it.
Marvelous stuff 🥁🥁🥁✋
I dig it thanks!! Fun times!!
Really helpful, thanks Rob. Smooth and simple at that tempo. What is that lovely cymbal on your far right? Has a China sound maybe?
Rob is the boss..🥳👍🇫🇮
Thanks again Rob as always very useful and they sound great 🙏
Hey I’ve watched a couple of your videos and I must say good job on your new video setup! Looks great😎
Thanks Christine 🤓🎥💡
I love this, it makes something that seems magical and impossible when you hear it completely manageable and practical. Thanks so much!!
Great lesson a lot of ideas and concepts here definitely some new practice materials. Good stuff as always from you
I see your recording gear slowly being updated over the years Rob, would love to see an update on the vid you did back in 2015 on recording drums with any added tips you'd have for up and coming recording amatuers!
Quite informative and so helpful. Cheers, Rob! ✌️🥁
New to the channel. Absolutely love the content. Found we share the same love for a lot of the same rudiments and warm ups, now even fills. But watching someone else play and discuss, it’s a whole new look and I love it
Love it!! ... thanks, Rob.
Cool lesson, thanks for sharing!
Also, just got the Steve Gadd Gaddiments book through the post. Looks good 👍 👌
Love your lessons and your style! And thank you for the time and effort you put in. Any advice regarding this topic for a new drummer who happens to be a lefty playing open handed on a right handed set up? Would I be correct in assuming that these exercises will help in bringing my right hand up to speed over time?
Great instructional video ! Definitely gonna use it for teaching.
P.S.: appreciate your efforts to nourish the drummer community by uploading such high valuable videos !!! Drum on ! Stay safe !
hi rob. thanks for the simplicity in the way you explain the excersises. i,m strogle to practice rudiments, can´t connect and i think the problem is i cant make sound good and musical. any tip? chears from argentina
Another killer lesson! Thanks beatdown!
I love you man, these lessons are great ! All of I had learned on drums is from your channel. Thank you and keep going !
Great tips, I’m currently doing two out of the four, Thanks Man!🙏🏻🤘🏻🥁 Great learnings!
Here's the thing, Rob. I totally get the gist of this video, and I feel like it works for me. But then my teacher says I should build a repertoire of fills so I can apply them to new songs I'm learning rather than try to follow the sheets or copy the recording. What do you reckon is my most efficient way to go about learning to play new jazz pieces? Play fills going by my feeling or prepare and study a certain set of fills?
lol!!! you're the best bro!
Hi Rob! Thanks for the video! I’ve tried to do the first exercise, but i can’t figure out what the left hand is doing on the snare. Can you break it up for me please?
Good!! Haha👊
Can this work playing triplets where accents shift from hand to hand for example when accenting the 1st hit of each triplet i.e. the 1, 2, 3, and 4?
Great videos man!!! Love the content!!
Question: the transcription doesn't match what you play. The middle tom and the floor tom specifically. Correct? Or am I reading it wrong?
Rob, I’ve noticed you haven’t been using the Avantone microphones for your kit anymore. Curious why the change?
Beyerdynamic sent me their new TG i51 and TG D70 mics to review last summer and I’ve been highly diggin’ them ever since. I’ve been a fan of their mics for years. You can find the review on the channel
Grande!!!
Hey Rob! Any reason in particular that you do not play all the left handed fill in notes in all the fills?
Nice 👌
Which mics are you using??
Serious question. Is is ok to bury the stick to the snare when you play trad grip? I was always taught to hit and release (bounce), but I don't play trad grip.
Try both ways and you'll see that they both sound very differently. Burying gives you a choked sound while bouncing sounds more open (This isn't exclusive to traditional. Same thing happens with matched grip). There really is no 'correct' way to play anything. Just different sounds and different possibilities for musical application. (Although burying might put a little bit more strain on your wrist so just choose whatever is more comfortable to you)
My left stick is always naturally dancing between backbeats when I use either grip, but burying is feels real good too if I’m just laying down a straight 4. There’s no real “wrong” way to do it as long as it sounds good
This is a microcosm of why open-handed playing may not be the panacea that it's often assumed to be: The benefits of open handed playing come with the tradeoff that the lead hand is more constrained when it comes to orchestrating fills. The right hand is better positioned to move around the kit than the left (vice-versa on a left-handed kit). It's not an irreparable roadblock, but for a closed-handed drummer this lesson is the natural evolutionary step. Prior to this step, fills are more generic and strict, while the next step is to become more rudimental and creative. An open-handed drummer is mostly missing this middle step and many get stuck at this point, unable to bridge the gap.
I’m an open handed drummer, any advice to over come this ?
@@mcspankey4810 Advice will depend on where you're at, but if you don't already, placing a floor tom in the "side snare position" can help give your lead hand more utility.
Besides that, I think it's best to buckle down and put a lot of effort on fills and rudiments, patterns like LRK, LRRK, LRLRRK, etc., and of course your singles and doubles. Start very slow on the snare, then move the weak hand between the floor tom and snare, and finally both hands around the kit. Focus on mastering one or two things at a time. You want to be equally comfortable ending fills with your weak and strong hands. A good exercise for this is something I call "ParaXDiddleXs," where you play an arbitrary number of paras and diddles (eg. mixture of paradiddles, triple-paradiddles, double-paradiddle-diddle-diddles, etc.) on the snare drum to a click, moving random-ish accents (typically the first "par-") onto the cymbals. Aim to play around half your accents with your weak hand. You're also going to learn the inverted versions this way, and you'll be going over the barline a fair amount. Playing odd time signatures will do wonders to your ability to find the one, and a good exercise is to turn some odd time signature song into one big fill. Rob has a video on "gospel chops" which is a good demonstration of approximately where you should be when you reach the other side.
